House Republicans' Legislative Efforts This Week

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BURCHETT. Mr. Speaker, I thank my brother for allowing me to speak tonight.

Mr. Speaker, the American people are not as blind and they are not as stupid as this administration and the mainstream media makes them out to be.

Everyone in this world can see that this President is not well. The Justice Department recently released the report by Special Counsel Robert Hur, and in that report was some very damning notes that were made, facts, I guess I should say, that were stated. The President wasn't charged in the case of mishandled documents, but they couldn't rush to judgment fast enough against President Trump in a similar situation, but the report said: ``It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him--by then a former President well into his 80s--of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.''

That was the quote. Let me read that again: ``It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him--by then a former President well into his 80s--of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.''

This wasn't my friends on Newsmax or OAN or FOX; this was the prosecutor, the Special Counsel Robert Hur.

President Biden's own Justice Department knows that he is not in any condition to run this country as do our enemies and our friends abroad. The whole world knows that he is not in a condition to run this country. I have said for a long time that this would happen.

I said when everything goes down the drain for him and he is having to take the stand, they will use his mental condition as an excuse and they will kick this can not down the road, but off a cliff. If he is not fit to be prosecuted, Mr. Speaker, he definitely is not fit to be the Commander in Chief.
